It’s baaaaaaack… did we miss it? Not really..
So far, we are a little over a week into the new year, masks are still a thing, and so far, we are in the clear of having to quarantine. (knock on wood).
Allie is a junior this year, at a new school. Anxiety is not as bad as expected, so far. There is some, but her medication is helping with this. so grateful for that! She is doing it!
Autumn is in 7th grade, still at the same school. She is super bummed because her friends didn’t return this year for some reason. She is having a better week #2 so far, just hoping that continues. She approached the vice principal yesterday, asking if she could bring a tablet to draw in class. I told her that they would most likely say no, but she wanted to ask anyway. I was proud of her for taking initiative on her own to do that. They did say no, but hey.. she asked. and you never know until you do that.
Austin is in 5th grade, and is still in the small class, but his teacher is hoping to prep him for regular 5th grade learning classroom this year. He should be spending majority of his day in a regular classroom settting. He’s not too excited about this.
Adam is in 4th grade, still doing his thing. He’s a good listener, most of the time, does his work, and most of the time without complaining. He lost a tooth today!!
April — what can I say about her? She’s still my angel, and making things happen in a major way this year for me.
She is picking the kids up from all of their different schools, had me make a daily chore list, has each child doing their homework and their chores, before they get to do anything fun.
This is the path to success, I do believe.
April is my “co-parent”, step-sister, listening ear, friend, and so much more.
Here’s to a wonderful, successful, stress-reduced, happy school year!!
Despite what is going on in our world around us, we must remember the most important world.. our family, friends, co-workers, and self-care.
All in a Day
